Acacia was a type of wood used in the creation of [[wand]]s. [[Garrick Ollivander]] found that wands made from Acacia were difficult to match with a [[Wizardkind|wizard]]. Acacia wands generally refused to produce [[magic]] for anyone but their owners, but conversely, seemed to withhold their full power from all but the most gifted [[Wizardkind|wizards]]. As such, Ollivander only kept a small supply of Acacia wands in his [[Ollivanders Wand Shop|shop]]. Owners of Acacia [[wand]]s were generally subtle [[Wizardkind|wizards]], as wands made from this wood were generally unsuitable for what Ollivander termed "bangs-and-smells magic".<ref name="pottermore">''[[Pottermore]]''</ref>

Mirror of Erised "Is this all real? Or has this been happening inside my head?"

The topic of this article is of a real-life subject that has been mentioned "in-universe" in a canon source. The Harry Potter Wiki is written from the perspective that all information presented in canon is true (e.g., Hogwarts really existed), and, as such, details contained in this article may differ from real world facts.

Acacia (genus Acacia) is a genus of shrubs and trees belonging to the subfamily Mimosoideae of the family Fabaceae, first described in Africa. The leaves of acacias are compound pinnate in general, the small flowers have five very small petals, almost hidden by the long stamens. The plants often bear spines, especially those species growing in arid regions.[1]

Wandlore

A very unusual wand wood, Garrick Ollivander found that it creates tricky wands that often refuse to produce magic for anyone other than their rightful owner, they also withheld their best effects from all but the most gifted witches and wizards. This sensitivity renders them difficult to place, as such, Ollivander only kept a small supply of acacia wands in his shop for those witches or wizards of sufficient subtlety.

Acacia is not suited to what is commonly known as "bangs-and-smells magic". When well-matched, an acacia wand matches any for power, though it is often underrated due to the peculiarity of its temperament.[2]

Known acacia wand owners

Behind the scenes

  • The choice of Jacob's sibling's first wand is determined by the player's answer to Ollivander's question of how they felt about their brother's expulsion and subsequent disappearance. If they reply they felt bad for Jacob, Ollivander will give them a wand made of Acacia with a core of unicorn hair.[3]
